Many recipes using eggs are well under the 30-minute mark, so you have a meal or, in this case, an appetizer on the table in no time. Above all, they pack a big wallop of protein in such a small and economical package.

I came up with this Lobster Deviled Eggs idea to bump plain old deviled eggs up a notch. We are all big fans of deviled eggs, especially our daughter Amber. She just plain loves eggs!! Don’t overcook your eggs, as they will get that nasty grey coloring around the yolk. If you follow these simple instructions you will have perfect eggs every time.

What are the Ingredients in Lobster Deviled Eggs?

Ingredients

Large eggs – This is the best size, in my opinion, for a deviled egg.

Light mayonnaise – You can also use the full-fat version but I have light mayonnaise always on hand.

Fresh lemon juice – This brightens up the filling and brings out the lobster flavor.

Dijon mustard – You can’t make deviled eggs without Dijon; I love the tang and flavor it gives.

Salt and pepper to taste – Necessary ingredient in most savory recipes.

Cooked lobster – You will need about 3 tails. Watch for them to go on sale.

Lobster pieces for garnish – After using a cup of lobster, set aside some nice-looking pieces for garnish for the top of the egg. Then everyone knows there is lobster in these eggs, and they will be gobbled down.

Smoked paprika – You can use plain paprika or add in a smokey flavor with the smoked version; it is so good.

Chopped fresh chives – This not only adds flavor but a flash of green to make the eggs come alive.

How to Make Lobster Deviled Eggs

Showing the eggs in a pot and the other ingredients for the recipe.

Place the eggs in a large enough pan that they are not stacked on each other. Fill with water to just barely cover. Gently place on the stovetop and bring to a boil.

Turn the heat off and let sit in the pot of hot water for 10 min. Rinse under cold water and refrigerate until cold.

Peel and cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Mash yolks with a fork and then add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Using a mixer, beat on medium speed for 2 min. until smooth. Fold in lobster.

How to Make Deviled Eggs for Travel

Deviled Eggs can be easily portable with the right container to take them in.

If you make Deviled Eggs a lot, then purchasing a carrier is a brilliant idea. We have affiliate links above for you to use.

If you don’t want to invest in a carrier, one way to take them is with the whites in an air-tight container and the filling in a piping or zipped bag, and you can pipe them at the event.

Also, I have seen people use the egg carton either upside down or using the sections that are already there. Also, tin foil that is shaped into little areas to hold the eggs on a sheet pan works too. Lastly, a mini muffin pan is a fun way to transport them.
